Patience!

This year has flown by! I cannot believe that I have lived in an apartment for almost a year already! Time to pack up and start new again in a new place!

Well these past couple of weeks, there has been a song ringing in my head, the song Blessed Be Your Name by Matt Redman. There is a lyric, "you give and take away, my heart will choose to say, Lord, blessed be your name!" It has been a confusing and changing time for me and some things are finally starting to make sense. But most importantly I know I need to be patient.

The Lord blessed me with an apartment only to take it away the next day, I was frusterated initially but knew much prayer had gone into it and that God had better plans for me! I think He more definitely did as the place that I'm currently working out the paperwork for is much better than I could ever imagine! This is one key example as well as a few other things that happened to me in the past couple of weeks.

Work has been going well for me, I'm enjoying it a lot and do not want it to end. I'm anxiously awaiting to hear news about my possible summer job that I may get and praying for the Lord's guidance on it. I recently did volunteered at an activity day called Read, Romp and Play. It brought 10 different children's storybooks to life using arts and crafts. It was an awesome free event and it made me miss my own family very much! It also made me take a trip down memory lane back when my mom was teaching me how to read!

I've been busy trying to wrap things up with school! I managed to get pretty sick right before the swine flu came in, so I think I got pretty lucky on that! My school actually was shut down a few days because they thought 3 students had gotten swine flu so that was somewhat humorous.

Church and Bible studies have been going great, we are almost ready to wrap up the study on Crazy Love and I highly recommend it! It has really changed me and my perspective on life and has helped me to start falling in love with God more and more! I also know how much some of my friends care about me and I know I have some Christian mentors and role models to help me grow in my spiritual journey and I praise God for that!
